I used ADW on my G2 running CM7, along with circle launcher on the home screen. Had it until sometime last month. Have not used it on SGS3 or Note2. Currently using Nova on my Note2 runnig Jedi Master 6

I just tried using apex, it was laggy as heck. Motoblur was 100% smoother, can anyone comment on which launcher they believe offers the smoothest, snappiest reponse?

I don't plan to be doing any transitions etc, i just want to be able to change icons which requires a 3rd party launcher cause I'm not rooting my droid m.

Nova launcher is the best launcher imo, I've used it since beta and never any problems. I'll never switch launchers. I've tried apex, it's aight, and used to use adw back in the day of the original evo.

Ok so having used ADW for a while, im pretty sure i like touchwiz better haha. Adw doesnt seem as polished as touchwiz (stock) and its annoying me. The only think i want is to modify my dock bar which adw can do. Is there a way to edit the stock dock bar? Ive looked everywhere and tried everything.. is it just me or have they disabled the ability to customize the bottom 5 items on the note 2 using touchwiz?Edited by hzac - 12/9/12 at 11:19pm

Right now I would personally recommend Nova over ADW. They are both great launchers, but Nova is optimized for Android 4.0 and up, and since the Note 2 runs on 4.1(if I am not mistaken), it would be a much better choice.

Since apparently GO isn't such a great launcher (much better than HTC Sense though), what would you guys recommend for my Merge? It's running a rooted Gingerbread on an 800 Mhz Snapdragon, 512 MB RAM.
